In the corridor, Bailey tells Meredith she's giving her responsibility for a VIP - George O'Malley's mother. Louise is thrilled to have Meredith as her doctor. In the OR, Teddy asks Christina about her wish list. Christina needs more time. Henry watches from the gallery.

In the OR, Mark asks Alex what's up with Jackson. After, Mark goes to talk to Derek about his connection with Jackson. Derek makes fun of him in front of Owen. Down the hall, Lexie gets so into the story as the author dictates, that she questions the ending. The woman seizes. They get her into surgery. Lexie complains to Derek about the ending of the book.

Jackson joins Christina in the room with the heart in a box. She explains how the heart in a box lets you know what's important. He leaves and pages Lexie. He tells her he avoided a surgery today because of this thing between her and Mark. He says he's letting her go for the sake of his career. Lexie says, "You're picking Mark." Christina, meanwhile, tells Richard he was right - the heart was the key. He approves her new list and shows her one of his own - he was inspired. The team arrives and takes the heart.

Candi's Comments:

I loved seeing Louise O'Malley again, and was glad Arizona was understanding toward Callie. It was amazing that Bailey and Meredith finally cleared the air - awesome scene. The Jackson/Mark connection made for some comic relief, but left me dreading an eventual Mark/Lexie reunion. It's so sad that Henry is sick again. The bit with Richard and Christina and the heart in a box was cute. It was nice to see Alex have some positivity at the end of the show. Overall, it wasn't the most exciting episode, but I liked it anyway. Let me know what you thought using the comment section below.
